Ummm according to the blurb and the geek historians of comics (yes it's a very real thing that can even earn you an income), Fighting American the character's creation is somehow tied to the creators of the original Captain America at Marvel. I will not go into detail on which one was created first and who sued whom and why. You can google that
However, when Rob was off the Heroes Reborn Marvel universe cap, he got on the bandwagon of this and launched some mini-series on this heroHonestly, there is a lot of posing and gnashing of teeth and choppy storytelling and as for the contents, lots of clichés and rip-off storylines. In short, nothing original. But before you think I didn't enjoy it, I did! I even bought the variant covers. Hahaha!
Why?Well you have Rob on covers and he did a decent job here but more awesome than Rob, there is S Platt! About the only gripe I have is actually the interior pages. It should have better colouring, paper and production values! Sigh!
So what about the story? Well we have our Cap ... I mean Fighting Am ... and he is now back in the driver's seat of his destiny. Then there is the matter of flashbacks to a past that may not be what it seems. Aside from this, they are then called in and encounter the China equivalent of FA another overly muscled chap who jumps and bounces and throws blades (naturally!). So who is the good guy and who is the bad guy? And what's up with his kid sidekick anyway? The human one not the robot one! Ratings: 6/10 (points are mainly for the covers)
